Controversial cross-dresser, Idris Okuneye, also known as Bobrisky, has failed to meet the bail conditions granted him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

Spokesperson for the EFCC, Dele Oyewale, confirmed the report of his bail and failure to meet the conditions on Thursday.

According to him, “He (Bobrisky) has been granted administrative bail but yet to meet bail conditions.”

It could be recalled that Bobrisky was arrested and detained by the Lagos Zonal Command of the EFCC on Wednesday, over alleged abuse of naira, spraying of naira notes and currency mutilation.

Oyewale had also noted in a statement that, “Bobrisky is with us. He was arrested last night in Lagos, and he is at our Lagos command. We arrested him for alleged abuse of naira notes, spraying of Nara notes, and currency mutilation, among others.

“We are very serious about restoring the dignity of the naira. Though our investigation is still ongoing, he will definitely be charged to court soon.”

Part of the statement noted that “Operatives of the Lagos Zonal Command of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, have commenced investigation of Idris Okuneye, a.k.a Bobrisky, for allegedly spraying Naira notes.

“The EFCC had invited the 31-year-old following a video report of spraying and flaunting wads of new Naira notes at the premiere of a movie, Ajakaju, produced by Eniola Ajao, a Nollywood actress and producer, at Film One Circle Mall, Lekki, Lagos on March 24, 2024.

“Investigation also revealed that he had also committed the alleged offence at some other event centres and parties at different times.

“He will soon be charged to court upon conclusion of investigations.”
